    I didn’t really know what I’d use it for until I actually put it together. I did a test print, then printed a small articulated dragon my 4-year-old thought looked neat while we were browsing Thingiverse. Then we realized we could make Hot Wheel track pieces and it was all over. I’ve also made some small things that I thought would be useful like a wall mount for my work laptop to get it off my desk. It’s also been fun to just kinda learn some 3D modeling and see what is on my screen turn into something in my hand.

    I spend probably too much time at my desktop so the little shitty fire tab work sent has actually been a really nice disconnect if my hands start hurting too bad. I’ll just go outside and sit in the sun and read for a bit. Yeah seven years is a long time for a device to stay not broken, let alone still functional nowadays. Sounds like a valid treat-your-self to me.
